With a recommended age of 10 years and up, "Spectacular" can be enjoyed by 1 to 6 players. The game's engaging mechanics make it an ideal choice for family game nights or friendly gatherings.
In "Spectacular," players take on the role of park managers, tasked with building a sanctuary for 17 different animal species. Each player starts with a personal supply of tiles and dice, and a shared supply is available for all to draw from. The shared supply is passed to the left player after each turn, adding an element of strategy and anticipation.
During each turn, players must decide whether to acquire new animals or feed and breed existing ones. The outcome of these decisions is determined by the roll of the dice. Low rolls can be crucial for breeding tiles, adding an exciting twist to the gameplay.
The game includes tiles in four different colours, each representing a unique habitat. Matching coloured dice are also included, which can be used to score points at the end of the game. However, only tiles with dice on them can be scored, adding a layer of strategy to the game.
"Spectacular" encourages players to think strategically and plan ahead. Bonus points are awarded for biodiversity and completed missions in the game, providing additional incentives for players to manage their parks effectively.
The game's illustrations, created by Gjermund Bohne, bring the animal species and their habitats to life, immersing players in a captivating world. The game's design is both visually appealing and easy to understand, making it accessible to players of all ages.
